Please place on the September 27, 2016 Consent Agenda, a referral to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee to consider the three motions passed by the Parks and Recreations Facilities Advisory Board during their September 2016 meeting. The motions were provided to the Mayor & Commission via LTC 377-2016, attached for ease of reference.
The three motions are:
1. After giving careful consideration to the 30% design of the Future Community Park (Former Par 3) submitted by
the contractor, the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board recommends the following design
adjustments be made before submitting to the City Commission and or the public for consideration:
1.)
Decreasing the size of the lake and increasing the open, flat greenspace in order to achieve more significantly sized fields,
2.) Adding an additional Tennis Court, in order to have a total of six,
3.) Adding parking to the West
side of the park,
4.) Relocating the bathrooms away from the Scott Rakow Youth Center area,
5.) Adding more
of a greenspace behind the Scott Rakow Youth Center area, and
6.) Increasing the length of the trail path in
order to achieve a one mile loop.
2. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board recommends the City to explore options in using Miami
Beach Senior High School's Drivers Ed Facility for the Future Community Park (Former Par 3) parking
purposes.
3. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board requests that during the redesign phase of the Future
Community Park (Former Par 3) project, the recommendations of the board be taken into account and in order
for this board to fulfill its advisory obligations to the City, that the board be more actively consulted and allowed
a more direct role in an oversight capacity of the park design.
